Well done, Year 6!

So, the SAT papers have been bagged and sent away to be marked. It’s a long wait for the results, which I will be able to give the children on the 10th of July. The results will be included in the end of year reports to parents, which I will send home on the same day. For now though, we can put them out of our minds and focus on the business of the residential!

There is no maths club after school on Monday, but I will be available in school until 5pm if parents wish to drop-in/phone with any last-minute questions about the trip. (If Monday is not convenient, you are welcome to catch-up with me after school on Tuesday or Wednesday – or drop the office an email!). I have included further information, which was sent out last term, and a copy of the kit list below.

There is no homework this weekend – everyone deserves a break after the hard work they have invested in preparing themselves for their assessments. I was very impressed with their ‘can-do’ attitudes and sensible approach to the week. It was very calm – I think some of them even enjoyed it! Our small group of Year 5 pupils have been great too, often working alongside the Year 6 pupils and challenging themselves – some of them have even attended our weekly maths club!

After half-term, Code Club starts up again. Code Club runs on Monday after school from 3:15 – 4:30 and is for pupils who enjoy coding their own games and quizzes. Pupils have time to play around and experiment with the BBC microbits and, if Mrs. Evans remembers to charge him up, an opportunity to work with Cosmo! Code Club is free of charge and is open to all Year 5 and 6 pupils. There are 15 places, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis! Please text the office if your child wishes to participate.

That’s it from me this week. Have a great weekend – Mrs. E. says all Darwin pupils deserve a massive treat!
